From Side to Side

Overview

Being a ballerina is much more than beauty, spins, big jumps, and pirouettes, it means dedicating yourself 24 hours a day, overcoming pain, lack of recognition, and encouragement. It's making it look easy. It's making passion your daily engine. Lives relate to ballet, having their lives moved by this dance. Dancers discuss how prejudice and beauty standards interfere with their routine, bringing to light the conflict between idealization and reality.
